Whale Breeding. The proper terms for whales are calves for the newborns, cows for the adult females, and bulls for the adult males. The age of maturity depends on the species of whale, but typically it ranges been 7 and 10 years of age. There isnât enough information to determine how whales select who they will mate with.
In the 1968 BBC Radio serialization of The Hobbit, Bilbo was played by Paul Daneman. Nicol Williamson portrayed Bilbo with a light West Country accent in the 1974 performance released on Argo Records. In the 1977 Rankin/Bass animated version of The Hobbit, Bilbo was voiced by Orson Bean.
Martin Freeman has left The Hobbit. This is not another April Fool, just a May Fact. Before signing as Bilbo, Martin had agreed to make three 90-minute TV films in London, again playing Dr Watson to Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock Holmes. No worries: he'll be back in Middle-earth after our first hiatus, during which Peter Jackson will have spare time to edit the scenes already completed.
